38 ENVISION FRANKLIN | Design Concepts CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS Franklin Road, Riverview Historic Estate The rural viewshed along Franklin Road should be preserved, with infill to be located behind the historic home and its accessory structures. Infill could be either all single-family residential or a mixture of dwelling types. Some townhomes may be appropriate. Building heights should transition from one to two stories along Lancaster Drive to three stories along the Harpeth River, as long as the perceived height from Franklin Road is less than the historic home. Lewisburg Pike New development should have deep setbacks to respect the existing character and should be sensitively designed around historic structures. Informal landscape design and rural features, such as stone walls, wood plank fencing, and informal tree plantings, should be utilized to sustain the scenic and rural quality of the area. Lynwood Way New development should be set back from Lynnwood Way in order to preserve the scenic beauty of the area. A viewshed study should be provided during the review process to ensure the preservation of natural view corridors. Mack Hatcher Parkway/Cool Springs Boulevard Intersection Small-scale institutional uses and public recreational uses are the only appropriate nonresidential uses in this location. The floodplain, hillsides and hilltops, scenic viewshed, and steep slopes are to be preserved, and a 150-foot corridor setback from Mack Hatcher Parkway should be provided. Parking should be provided for the Roper’s Knob public park. Morningside Drive Infill or redevelopment along Morningside Drive or on the adjacent parcel to the north (hill across from Harlinsdale Park)should respect the rural character of Franklin Road and Harlinsdale Park. Infill must be nestled behind the hill (across from Harlinsdale Park) to maintain the rural viewshed. See Appendix E. New Highway 96 West This scenic corridor should have deep setbacks of at least 300 feet for new development. Informal landscape design and rural features, such as stone walls, wood plank fencing, and informal tree plantings, should be utilized to sustain the scenic and rural quality of the area. Commercial and office uses should not front along New Highway 96 West. Northwest Quadrant of Mack Hatcher Parkway, between Hillsboro Road and New Highway 96 West to the edges of the UGB Duplexes and townhouses, in addition to the residential land uses supported in this design concept, are appropriate in this area as a continuation of the traditional residential development pattern found at Westhaven on the south side of New Highway 96 West. Future uses at the intersection of Del Rio Pike and Mack Hatcher Parkway may include limited local commercial and transitional office uses to support the surrounding residential neighborhoods. Development should be master planned and integrated into the design of the entire area. Transportation infrastructure is limited in this area. New development shall enhance and improve the street network. Large residential developments may not be appropriate until Mack Hatcher Parkway is constructed in this area. Institutional Uses Institutional uses may be appropriate if their locations do not negatively impact access, scale, and traffic of the surrounding area. These uses should be located at major intersections of arterial and collector streets or designed within master-planned developments so that increased traffic is handled internally. Additional stories may be appropriate for institutional uses. The conversion of dwellings in existing residential areas for institutional uses is not appropriate.
